Is there really people preferring the status quo ? ;)
Of course we probably need some debate about making it default or not
but you're completely right there should be an option about that - and
maybe a config variable as well?
How about --sort=ascending|descending|natural (with branch.sort as the
corresponding config var) ?

Thanks,


Junio, about the borrowed code, indeed I was not sure where to put it,
initialliy I thought using directory strnatcmp/ like it's done for
mozilla-sha1/ and xdiff/, but well... probably a more general
directory that will be used for other 'borrowed' stuff in the future
makes sense.
